Appreciation
Here, it seems that the rich and beautiful scenery in late spring is only depicted in anthropomorphic ways. In fact, it also implies that people should make use of the opportunity to create valuable things. However, it is worth mentioning that, although there is a lack of "talent" of vegetation, Populus davidiana is not so ignorant, but adds a scene to late spring. Although it is not beautiful, it has made great efforts, and this spirit is commendable.
This is a poem that depicts the scenery in late spring. At first glance, it's just a common scene of hundreds of flowers competing for beauty, but it's not difficult to find out further that the poem is ingenious and unique. Poets don't write about flowers falling and dying in late spring, but they write about the moving scene of plants and trees staying in spring and showing colorful colors: flowers and trees find out that spring will return, and they each exert their best, and they are colorful and flowery. Even the poplar flowers and elm pods, which were originally lacking in color and fragrance, are not to be outdone, but turn into snowflakes dancing with the wind and join the ranks of staying in spring. The poems are nuanced, revealing secrets that have not been obtained by predecessors, opposing the general poet's feeling of being late in late spring, imitating the splendid situation of flowers and plants, and showing the elegant demeanor in late spring. A few strokes will give people an eyeful of scenery and a refreshing impression.
It is quite interesting to say that this poem has been renovated in an ordinary way, and it also lies in the wonderful use of personification in the poem, which combines people with flowers. "Vegetation" is a heartless thing, but it can "know", "understand" and "fight", and there is a difference between "talent" and "intelligence". The wonder of imagination is really rare in poetry. The last two sentences are particularly chewy, and readers can make bold imagination without fetters according to their own life experiences, which makes people think endlessly and taste inexhaustible.
after careful consideration, this poem is a fusion of scenery and reason. We can understand the philosophy of life through the description of the scenery: the poet's description of the scene of "knowing" and cherishing the beauty of spring through the "vegetation" reflects his own cherish of the beautiful scenery of spring. In the face of the scene of late spring, the poet changed his common feeling of cherishing spring to subjective participation, and his mood was optimistic and uplifting, which was very innovative. You see, "Yang Hua Yu pod" does not hide from others because of "lack of talent", and is not afraid of the ridicule of "teaching others to teach an axe", adding color to "late spring". This enlightens people: it is not terrible for a person to be "without talent and thinking". What matters is to cherish time and lose no time. "Spring" is not worthy of such a conscientious person.
Qian Zhonglian's Ji Shi is a poem written in the eleventh year of Yuanhe. Quote Zhu Yizun's "Criticism of Korean Poetry": "What do you mean by this? However, this is the case. " Indeed, as far as describing the scenery in late spring is concerned, this poem can be described as sentimental and interesting, and it is not conventional. The title of the poem is "Traveling in the South of the City in Late Spring", which shows that it was written in the suburbs during a spring outing. Poets all use anthropomorphic techniques, not to mention that people cherish spring, but that grass trees also know that spring will come soon, so all flowers are blooming, and each is beautiful. Joining in the fun are simple and unpretentious poplar flowers and elm pods, dancing all over the sky like flying snow. People say that plants are heartless, while poems tend to say that they know, or "fight" or "solve", which is lively and interesting. This is the interesting thing about this poem.
However, the word "without talent" is quite strange, which has caused many speculations. Or advise people to study hard, don't be as vain as Yang Hua; Or it means that people are incompetent and can't make good articles; Or it is ironic; Or praise Yang Hua, although not beautiful, but with interest and courage. When examining poetry carefully, the poet should appreciate Yang Hua. "Thinking without talent" should be a humorous pen that pretends to be frustrated.
Different people have different opinions on the meaning of this poem, and different life experiences and moods will have different understandings.
